President Donald Trump mistakenly called the United States a company in a joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Friday. The visit came as Merkel and other worlds leaders were calling on Trump to uphold the U.S.’ free trade deals.

Asked about his isolationism by a German reporter, Trump said, “The United States has been treated very, very unfairly by many countries over the years and that’s going to stop.”

“We’re a very powerful company—country,” Trump added, apparently catching his mistake. “We’re a very strong, very strong country, we’ll soon be at a level perhaps we’ve never been before. Our military is going to be strengthened, it’s been depleted. But I am a trader, I am a free trader, I am a trader that wants to see good for everybody worldwide. But I am not an isolationist but any stretch of the imagination.”

The goal of this site is to post cited news stories of our current POTUS. With such a controversial figure, it's hard to keep track of everything that happens. This site will track his activities.

Mainly, this site will update Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But if I'm in a position to update it when a story breaks, I will.

I will use a number of sources as long as they have quoted remarks from events that are on record. If you see a site on here that tends to lean a certain way, just know I have personally read it and judged that specific article to be more fact than hyperbole.

If you do not wish to be quoted, have a news story I missed, or have any inquires, send an e-mail to: [email protected]

Also, a few people have asked, and this is the only place you'll see something like this on this site, if you would like to donate to help with server costs, I certainly wont stop you:PayPal
